CBSE schools to renew demand for representation on Board
January 6, 2017
Office bearers of CBSE Schools Associations across India will meet and discuss various issues confronting the functioning of CBSE schools, including non-representation of management on the CBSE board, here tomorrow.
Despite representations for the last 25 years, the Government has not heeded the appeal by the Association of Managements of Private Schools (AMPS) of Tamil Nadu to have a management representative on the board, which would help while formulating new policies or changes in the system, AMPS General Secretary A T B Bose told reporters here today.
Though the principals of some schools were made members of the board, they do not have a ‘say’ in the meetings like the management has and decisions were taken at times without inputs from the management, he said.
AMPS was instrumental in representing the issues faced by the management in a formal and professional manner with the concerned departments, he said, adding that when the autonomy of the CBSE schools was at stake, the association had found a solution by approaching the judiciary.
To discuss the issue, the office bearers representing the States of Goa, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Kerala and Tamil Nadu will meet, as part of two-day silver jubilee celebrations of AMPS beginning tomorrow, Bose said.
The deliberations will be compiled and sent to the Centre for necessary action.
The celebrations will be inaugurated by former Anna University Vice-Chancellor E Balagurusamy in the presence of eminent educationalists, he said.
On the second day, AMPS will also felicitate 11 founders of the association by Avinashilingam University for Women Chancellor P R Krishnakumar, and former UGC Vice-Chairman Dr H Devaraj will address the valedictory function, Bose said.
